These are the first Federal-approved studies of Cannabis and its affects on humans since the 1970's, when major narcotics bills lumped in Marijuana and had it banned. Sure, these studies were done by the government, but they were supervised, funded and done with permission of the Federal Government of the United States of America.

It has motives and reasons beyond those told to you in the news for its actions and stances.
